A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the proper login details are offered. This may be an entire website or simply one page that is located within a subfolder. If you attempt to open this sort of a directory, you shall see a browser pop-up in which you will need to type in a username as well as a password. If you input the right ones, you will be able to continue surfing around the content without the need to do anything extra. In case the login details are not correct, however, you will see a message that you are not authorized to see the content. In case this option is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The function is quite practical if you need to limit the access to some content or if you are developing an Internet site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.
